Creator Bout 4: Battle of the Brits part 2 Ennis vs Millar

[The Hero]

sorry to just jump in but millar's MKspiderman was good,nor great but good.

"Who's your daddy now,Mister Osborn?Who's your daddy now,huh?!"

*cries* (still liked him better than Hudlin,though)

Ennis did Ghost Rider?When?

 

[Elijya]

a mini last year. pretty art, agonizing story (IMO)

 

[Anubis]

I liked it. Of course I hadn't read much Ghost Rider, but I loved Crane's artwork. That was enough for me. Which is a rare thing.

Oh, and I'm gonna go with Ennis on this. Miller will never write anything that can contend with Preacher.

 

[Elijya]

Well, Millar did Civil War this past year, and Garth got in some more MAX Punisher as well as the whole debacle with The Boys

 

[Anubis]

Still. Ennis. The Boys was awsome (And it's coming back in July with Dynamite ) And plus, Millar never wrote anything on par with Preacher.

 

[GNR]

Millar.

 

[PaleRider]

I say Ennis, this is an easy choice for me. I like Millar, he's a good writer but Ennis has written many things that I have loved, even if Preacher wasn't part of this I'd still go with him.

 

[CaptainCanada]

Millar. Red Son is one of my favourite Superman stories; Ennis, from what I've read of his, I find repetitive and puerile.

 

[Elijya]

Puerile? heh, read Millar's Wanted

or better yet, Trouble

 

[Anubis]

What does Puerile mean? Am I.....Puerile?

 

[nite-owl]

It means childish or immature my friend.

set Dictionary.com as one of your bookmarks, it comes in very handy

Preacher is the best long run out of these guys' work, but I think Millar writes better on shorter stories. He probably produces more crap than Ennis, but some of his minis/small runs are pretty tightly constructed. Red Son, Wolverine: Enemy of the State, Ultimates, Ultimate Fantastic Four...then there's crap like MK Spidey, and just "okay" stuff, like Civil War (which I liked, but it dragged in the middle for about 3 issues). I think I'm gonna have to forsake the epic brilliance of Preacher in the name of quantity.

Of course I haven't read that much Ennis. Preacher, The Boys, and some Punisher, is all. I haven't really read that much Millar, either. Just the aforementioned. No Chosen, Wanted, etc. Weak I know

 

[Anubis]

It means childish or immature my friend.

Yup, that's me.

 

[Not Jake]

You just got soooooo much hotter to me.

 

[Sandman138]

So you admit that your a pedophile?

I think it has to be Ennis. His list of Best Works reads like a Best Of The Last 15 Years list, and his Biggest Mistake, Ghost Rider Road to Damnation, is still damn readable. Besides, he's more than redeeming it with Ghost Rider Trail of Tears.

Millar, on the other hand, has been spotty at best for his entire career. Sure, his Authority was fun at times, Red Son was interesting, and he was good on Swamp Thing, but he's just never done anything that was, in my mind, ass-kickingly, unstoppably awesome, whereas I can pretty much count on anything by Ennis being solid at worst and mindblowing at best. And when Millar is off...he is OFF.
